Pics from Bobfest North

[Jackpine Radical]

About 600 people showed up May 19 in Chippewa Falls for Fightin' Bob Fest North.

Here are a few shots from the afternoon.

Ed Garvey, founder of the whole Bobfest enterprise, 1998 Democratic candidate for WI Governor, & main force behind the revitalization of Progressivism in Wisconsin



Mahlon Mitchell, next Lieutenant Governor, a dynamic young guy on the rise. The youngest President of the Wi Firefighters' union, he led the firefighters in support of the Madison protests.




Ruth Coniff, writer for the Progressive & another firebrand of a speaker.



John Nichols. That's all I need to say. Just John Nichols.



Kathleen Vinehout, recently one of the 4 candidates for the Dem Gubernatorial nomination, now stumping as hard as she can for Tom Barrett.
